The Bulkington Pass is a mountain pass on the Oscar II coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It runs in a northeast-southwest direction over a length of 6 km on the south side of the Flask Glacier or west of the Bildad Peak and represents the ascent route from the foreland glacier north of the Adit Nunatak to the Flask Glacier.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the passport in 1976 after the fictional character Bulkington, a crew member on the whaler Pequod in Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick .
